Where No Gods Came

Hi Honey

M Hi Honey, Who could believe a little cat. You hassled me for a pet so many years, I thought you’d given up. Persephone? What kind of name is that? She sounds like a beauty, but don’t let her take all your love away from Croc. Remember, he came from far away. He needs a home. Honey, I know when I ‹rst left I said one year, but it’s going to be a little longer. What can I do, they won’t give me a ticket back. Besides, you got to be out of the country a year and a half to skip the income tax, and the company only wants guys who can commit to two. I thought I’d give it a try, see if you were all right. And things are working out great for you. I’m happy. Some ups and downs but isn’t that just life? I knew you would survive . I’m the one in hell. Working twelve to midnight all this week. I’m sure Lenore will keep you, but I’m going to tell her later, when I’ve sent some $. I bet she’s pissed I haven’t sent much yet. But I’m saving. I’ll pay off all the sharks when I get back. Then we’ll be free. As far as that legal bullshit goes, there’s no dark secret. Forget it. I think it had to do with her old man’s money. He didn’t want us to touch it. We lived ‹ne without it, so I signed. Anyway that’s court stuff. It’s got nothing to do with us. Lenore’s your mother either way. No paper in the world can change that fact. We live the way we want. Got me? Remember that I love you. Dad 154 ...
